I reflect on that fact if I ever feel tempted to buy a ticket !Jane Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-29969601810565449972016-01-13T05:45:22.164-08:002016-01-13T05:45:22.164-08:00Some of us are Republicans and some of us are Demo...Some of us are Republicans and some of us are Democrats, like some of us are gamblers and some don&#39;t have the inclination to take risks. I think a happy medium is fine as long as you don&#39;t go overboard on any issue. I lean toward being liberal and taking a few risks and it works for me. Whatever floats your boat. :)Anna Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11945983971515869500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-77582257189872474842016-01-12T16:26:43.187-08:002016-01-12T16:26:43.187-08:00We got our two dollars worth last week.

But the night we crawled into bed, and Lon told me no one had won, and how much it would be going up to, I said, that&#39;s just stupid. NO one should be allowed to win that much money. Now, a million would be nice. ;)Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247379600555185331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-47739495964510764932016-01-12T16:23:47.342-08:002016-01-12T16:23:47.342-08:00I have never bought a lottery ticket or whatever a...I have never bought a lottery ticket or whatever any of them are called. I have no interest in throwing my money away like that. Plus, when I get into things, I really get into them, so I don&#39;t think it would be a good idea for me to get into gambling. I don&#39;t think my husband normally does, but a few days ago, he gave $6.00 to participate with a group who bought some tickets together.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-68274283984593321532016-01-12T14:45:52.840-08:002016-01-12T14:45:52.840-08:00Oh I have great fun fantasizing about all the good...Oh I have great fun fantasizing about all the good things I&#39;d do with the money.

That&#39;s the only time I ever &quot;bought&quot; a Powerball ticket. I thought of it as cheap insurance that I wouldn&#39;t be the only looser still coming to work.danger gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227500551609537140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632414454343958528.post-83498143197229919752016-01-12T12:06:35.727-08:002016-01-12T12:06:35.727-08:00We talked about getting a couple tickets tomorrow ...We talked about getting a couple tickets tomorrow when we go out for our errands. A couple bucks and you get the dreams of what could be. My husband plays every week...wins a buck or two. His attitude is that if nothing else he has good dreams for a night or two. It isn&#39;t the &#39;milk money&#39; so it isn&#39;t an issue for us. There are those who spend far more than they can afford, that I believe is a problem.
